China says Syria strike would hurt world economy

ST PETERSBURG, Russia, Sept 5 (Reuters) - China warned on
Thursday that a military strike on Syria would hurt the global
economy, in particular by causing oil prices to rise, and
reiterated its calls for a political solution to the civil war.

"Military action would have a negative impact on the global
economy, especially on the oil price - it will cause a hike in
the oil price," Vice Finance Minister Zhu Guangyao told a
briefing on the sidelines of a Group of 20 summit.
